How Japanese are using Sewage Heat to get rid of snowy Roads? (Cheap & Effective)

Our today's video is about a recent research by Japanese authorities to utilizing Sewage heat to melt snow and clear roads and walkways. It is quite an effective and cheap way and this could end the snowy roads forever. No shovelling and no costly process.
Let's find out.
Well, if you’re living in cold regions of the world, you would understand how difficult and annoying it is to commute with snow everywhere from roads and sidewalks to stairs. Right?
I mean, it’s it's not easy to even walk on the sidewalks. So, So, to ensure safe transport of goods and people; Japanese authorities have come up with a unique and jaw dropping solution.
They’re like develop a strange a pretty strange in fact, sort of technology that can instantly quite instantly melt snow on roadways with pretty much less energy and cost. I mean a fraction of the actual cost.
You’d see that it’s one of the most most efficient and effective way to get rid of the annoying snow from the walkways and roadways.
You catch my drift?
Well, Japan is a country with a lot lots of snowfall in winter. So, basically in high snowfall in in winter areas like Hokkaido, the sea of japan coast of Honshu, and mountainous areas are all jampacked with snow.
As a matter of fact, they spend enormous enrmous amount of money to clear the snow and let people use roads or walkways.
To that it’s obvious that these municipalities spend thousands of dollars in an effort to clear off the roads.
So, basically they were used to generate heat using electricity, oil, gas as a fuel to form heaters or warm coils under roadways to meltTo that it’s obvious that these municipalities spend thousands of dollars in an effort to clear off the roads.
However, this method is costly and has a huge environment impact. So, what’s the solution?
Before I told you the solution, why not spare a minute to hit the like button because the solution is just amazingly crazy. Yeah!
Japanese authorities are finding a way to to use heat from the city’s sewage flowing through the sewer pipe in a way to melt snow on roadways. Yes! You’re hearing it right.
Sewage has got a heat; pretty obviously but they’ve developed a method to use that heat in their favor and melt that pretty annoying snow with less lesser energy and cost. Doesn’t it sound amazing?
Well, obviously I’m not joking; I’ll share you some true facts and the research that’s underway.
So, a collaborative research body comprising Sekisui Chemical Co., Ltd., Kowa Company, Ltd., and Niigata City in Niigata Prefecture, commissioned by the National Institute for Land and Infrastructure Management of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, have been working to demonstrate a snow-melting technology for roadways using the heat from sewage flowing through sewer pipes - Yes the sewage heat to your rescue.
You already know that The temperature of sewage flowing through sewer pipes fluctuates with the seasons, just like like the outside temperature.
But as a matter of fact, a a special feature is that the range of fluctuation is generally smaller than that of the outside temperature. Therefore, the temperature of sewage is lower than the the outside temperature in summer and higher in winter.
So, that’s where We can tap this special characteristic of sewage temperature to to use the heat from the sewage as energy.
Matsuura Tatsuro is a senior researcher at the Wastewater System Division of the NILIM and he was of the view that Sewage such as waste water emitted from homes and factories is available in stable and large quantities, especially in urban areas. A snow-melting system for roadways was developed as a way to use the heat from the sewage effectively.
Doesn’t it sound amazing? Well, let’s delve in to the working principle to see how it works as a technology.
The sewage heat snow-melting system works by passing a pipe called a “heat collecting pipe” through the sewer, with the circulating liquid (antifreeze) inside this pipe then heated by the sewer heat and conducted to a “heat radiation panel” installed under the surface of the roadway, heating the road surface and melting the snow.
